Chapter 237: Negotiating with the King of Donglin
Gu Sheng'an listened to the words of the county lord of Sining, but he just felt funny, and he said coldly: "You take me to see your father!" I can't tell you a lot of words. ”
Seeing Gu Sheng'an's attitude, the lord of Sining County was even more dissatisfied, and he continued to ask: "Gu Sheng'an, you don't dare to answer my words, are you weak-hearted." ”
Gu Shengan looked at the county lord of Sining coldly, and said, "Little girl, did your father remind you not to meddle in your affairs." ”
When the county lord of Sining heard Gu Shengan say this, she was so angry, "Gu Shengan, I am very good friends with the emperor, I will not let you hurt the emperor and take her throne." ”
Gu Shengan didn't immediately open his mouth to refute the words of the county lord of Sining, his eyes flashed slightly, and said, "Lord Sining, I hope you can remember what you just said, and you have always regarded the emperor as your very good friend." ”
The county lord of Sining suddenly approached Gu Sheng'an, and she asked cautiously, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Gu Shengan raised his head slightly, just in time to see that the Donglin King had come behind the Sining County Lord, he pursed his lips, and a sneer appeared on his face, it seemed that this Donglin King was far more anxious than he imagined.
The king of the east is in a hurry! Gu Shengan was still afraid that he would not be in a hurry, after all, if a person is in a hurry, it is easy to make mistakes.
Gu Sheng'an no longer looked at the county lord of Sining at this time, he directly crossed her and walked in front of the king of Donglin, only to see him say lightly: "King Donglin, you made a mistake today." ”
When King Donglin heard Gu Shengan say this, he reached out and touched his beard, only to see him smile slightly, and replied: "Taifu Gu, do you say that the mistake I made means that I shouldn't have broken into Taifu's mansion and forcibly taken the emperor away?" ”
"You're wrong, that's not what I'm talking about."
Gu Shengan smiled again, he glanced directly at the county lord of Sining, and then continued: "King Dongjun, you are wrong not to involve the county lord of Sining in the political struggle, although I don't know what the purpose of your return to Beijing and forcibly bringing the emperor back to the palace is, but you shouldn't let the county lord of Sining interfere in." ”
Donglin Wang didn't expect Gu Shengan to say this, his whole face was stunned for a moment, but soon he smiled slightly and replied: "Mrs. Gu, it's inconvenient to talk outside, you come to the study with me, and we'll talk about it in detail." ”
Gu Shengan knew that he didn't want to continue to talk to him in front of the county lord of Sining, so he waved his hand at the king of Donglin and said, "Please lead the way with the king of Donglin." ”
The two walked into the study, Donglin Wang immediately closed the door, he looked back and saw Gu Shengan looking at him calmly, he couldn't help asking: "Gu Shengan, you came to my place alone, aren't you afraid that I will do something unfavorable to you?" ”
Gu Shengan raised his eyebrows and replied: "King Donglin, unless you want to be charged with murdering the minister of the imperial court just after returning to Kyoto, I don't think you dare to do anything to me, after all, I rode over all the way, but many people saw me walk into the county lord's mansion with their own eyes." ”
"Hahaha......"
King Donglin raised his head and smiled, "Gu Sheng'an, you are really an extremely smart person, it seems that you have calculated that I dare not do anything to you, so I came here so boldly." ”
Gu Shengan stared at King Donglin for a while, and replied: "King Donglin, you and I might as well speak directly, anyway, there is no one else in this study, you don't have to talk to me all the way, tell me, what is your purpose in forcibly arresting the emperor back to the palace?" ”
Seeing that Gu Shengan looked sure that he would answer his question, King Donglin couldn't help but say, "Gu Shengan, you came here to question me about this?" The emperor is the Ninety-Five, he should have lived in the palace, I just brought the emperor back, what's so strange about it. ”
Gu Sheng'an's eyes became a little cold, and he replied: "King Donglin, the reason why you brought the emperor back to the palace is really that simple?" ”
"Or what else do you think?"
Donglin Wang's face became serious, and he asked rhetorically.
Gu Shengan stared at him for a long time, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the door, Donglin Wang saw him like this, and immediately asked, "Gu Shengan, what do you mean by this?" ”
Gu Shengan didn't look back, he said coldly: "I originally thought that the king of Donglin was so anxious to control the emperor in his own hands, and he wanted to use the emperor as a threat to negotiate with me, but now the king of Donglin has no such intention, so I will leave." ”
Donglin Wang's face suddenly became a little ugly, he watched Gu Shengan walk to the door, and seeing that he was about to open the door and leave, he couldn't help but blurt out: "You stop!" ”
Gu Sheng'an's hand that had just touched the door hung down, he stopped, turned his head, and his eyes were cold, "What else does King Donglin want to say?" ”
"Gu Sheng'an, I think you, as a princess, have too much power in the court, should you give up all the power in your hands to the emperor?"
Gu Shengan lowered his eyes and replied, "King Donglin, then you should tell me, how should I give up my power?" ”
"The emperor has passed the year of his establishment, I think the emperor should be established, at the emperor's post-establishment ceremony, I want you to resign from your official position in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty."
Gu Sheng'an's eyes flashed, and he replied, "King Donglin, why do you think I would agree to your requests?" Want me to resign? I'm doing a good job, why should I resign? ”
King Donglin's face became ugly, and he continued: "Gu Sheng'an, I advise you not to be too greedy for power, if you are willing to listen to my honest resignation, I can still let you save your life and your glory and wealth, but if you insist on going your own way and monopolizing power, then I will never allow you to go on like this again." ”
"King Donglin, as a king with a different surname, you still have 300,000 soldiers and horses in the south, don't you have the heart to rebel?"
Gu Sheng'an's eyes were sharp, like a sharp arrow, he seemed to see through the desires hidden in the depths of Donglin King's heart, his gaze made Donglin King uncomfortable to the extreme, only to see him turn his head sideways, and replied: "How can I have the intention of rebellion, don't frame me." ”
"Then why aren't you framing me?"
Gu Shengan asked rhetorically: "I have never done anything rebellious for this reason so far, but I was charged with such a crime by you for nothing." ”
"Gu Shengan, half of the ministers in the DPRK were either dismissed from their posts by you, or they were directly demoted out of Kyoto by you and went to a remote place, and at the same time, you also vigorously cultivated your own henchmen and officials, and now the batch of officials who were suddenly promoted, which one of them was not enveloped by you early."
When King Donglin said this, the smile on the corner of his mouth became hideous, and he said fiercely: "Gu Sheng'an, the important ministers in the court have already seen through your wolf ambitions, so don't quibble." ”
After Gu Shengan heard what King Donglin said, he didn't open his mouth to refute it, because he knew in his heart that King Donglin had already identified this truth, so no matter how he refuted, King Donglin would not believe it, and the people in this world who had deep-rooted prejudices against him were not just King Donglin.
